Notion Erfahrungen

Vorteile

Der größte Nutzen ist, dass man die Oberfläche und Struktur komplett selber aufbauen kann und somit an seine eigene Bedürfnisse anpassen kann. Durch die Funktion der "databases" und "relations" kann man Projekte und Aufgaben miteinander verknüpfen und perfekt visualisieren.

Nachteile

Das Dokumentenmanagement finde ich zu umständlich. Ich mag es, dass ich Dokumente an die unterschiedlichsten Projekte, Kunden, Aufgaben, etc anhängen kann. Aber bei Abruf der Datei erfolgt immer ein neuer Download aus der Cloud. Da ist eine genrelle Cloud Lösung übersichtlicher.

Vorteile

Modernes, übersichtliches und dennoch umfangreiches Projektmanagement- und Wissensdatenbank-Tool, Desktop-App für Mac verfügbar, attraktive Start-Up Förderung

Nachteile

Teilweise ungewohnt lange Seiten-Ladezeiten (zumindest in der Desktop App für Mac)

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Confluence

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Notion

Notion bietet für Start-Ups attraktive Rabatte und ein super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis

Vorteile

Ich kann meine alle Projekten in verscheidenen Aufgaben verteilen und jede Aufgabe eine Frist zuweisen. Das hilft mir meine Aufgaben zu verfolgen.

Nachteile

Der einzige Nachteil den ich sehe ist dass wenn ich ein neues Projekt Template eratellen möchte, das bestehende Template wird auch geändert.

Vorteile

Die vielen Funktionen zum darstellen von Inhalt und das einfache Erstellen von Subdokumenten oder Datenbanken in einem existierenden Dokument. Das ganze ist zudem noch sehr benutzerfreundlich.

Nachteile

Task und Checklisten management ist ein wenig limitiert. Leider gibt es bisher auch keine Integrationen wie Grammarly etc.

Vorteile

Notion ist intuitiv zu bedienen, übersichtlich und bietet meiner Meinung nach viel bessere Optionen, als zum Beispiel ein Markdown Editor. Gerade die sortierbaren, filterbaren Datenbank-Blöcke (Tabellen, Boards, Kalender etc.) sind super hilfreich in der Organisation.

Nachteile

Am wenigsten gefällt mir, dass SSO nur in der Enterprise Version verfügbar ist. Auch kleinere Unternehmen, die sich nicht gleich das teure Enterprise Paket kaufen möchten, sollten die Möglichkeit haben SSO zu nutzen.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Confluence und ClickUp

Vorteile

Das es mir die Möglichkeit gibt, in einem Dokument mehrere Arten von Information festzuhalten. Neben einfachem Text integriere ich z. B. Miro Boards und Grid Diagramme in die Dokumente.

Nachteile

Die Funktion für Todo Listen sollte noch verbessert werden, da diese terade einfach mur bessere Excel Sheets mit Checkboxen sind.

Vorteile

Klare Struktur. Papiergrösse nachempfunden. Einfügen von pdf, Bildern usw. gut gelöst. Nutze die integrierte Funktion im Browser und Seiten direkt in Notion zu speichern. Synchronisiert mit meinen Geräten.

Nachteile

Suchfunktion durchsucht die eingefügten pdf nicht.

Vorteile

Die frei wählbaren Headerbanner sind sehr schön und die Übersichtlichkeit zu jedem Zeitpunkt gegeben. Features mehr als ausreichend für private und berufliche Zwecke.

Nachteile

Nichts nennenswertes. Schade, dass ich die Software erst so spät entdeckt habe.

Vorteile

Ich sortiere über Notion meinen Content und finde es dafür extrem praktisch. Mit den unterschiedlichen Labels, Boards und Möglichkeiten kann man das sehr gut organiseren und planen. Empfehle es auch meinen Kunden für deren Contentplanung.

Nachteile

Wenn ich ein Contentpiece geplant habe, kann ich die Farbe von nicht anpassen. Da fällt es mir manchmal schwer den Überblick zu behalten, was als nächstes dran kommt.

Vorteile

Egal ob man die Software zum To-DOs aufschreiben oder zum Notizen machen braucht, alles wird unterstützt.

Nachteile

Die App ist manchmal ein wenig zu komplex und man weiss nicht genau, was man wo machen muss.

Vorteile

Notion is an extremely flexible software. Thanks to their databases and multiple views like calendar, Kanban, tables and lists. I found it to be extremely intuitive and fun to use. I can definitely see how it could replace a google docs and be a central place for your team.

Nachteile

So the big elephant in the room... Notion can be slow at times, especially when using it on my phone. I would spend a lot of effort just trying to switch between pages. When I would type in it I felt that my text was not in real time. Also on Mobile sometimes I couldn't highlight text due to a bug on their side. This goes against the productivity it is trying to create.

Also the way it works with folders, it very quickly becomes far too many different places and I would need to think about where I need to put the specific note I'm working on, vs actually just writing the note. I think that it would be far better if notion stopped relying so much on folders and rather just made their search and internal linking more streamlined.

Vorteile

Notion product development is top notch. New highly usable features keep getting rolled out.

Nachteile

Although there’s a Notero work-around, I’d still like a Zotero seamless integration, please. Also, although embedded PDFs are very satisfactory, it will be amazing if users can annotate PDFs within Notion.

Vorteile

Without doubt its ubiquity (they claim you can organise anything within it) is incredible.

Nachteile

User experience is not that good. It is not comfort for the eyes.
Too many options.
Too many features.
Need time to learn and use and you ended up reexplain that too many time to your team OR you must buy Khe course about that product. And it's something you should really consider into your calculation of what that software cost.

Zuvor genutzte Software

Evernote Teams

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Notion

Notion is the newer product in this niche so its team study well their competitors and make something avoid the weaknesses of the old products.

Vorteile

Being able to centrally store, categorize, navigate, search and share knowledge base. It is extremely important to store documentation for both internal use and the client in my current working model.

Nachteile

The app is getting heavier and slower. What I like least about the product is that it is slows down considerably as more and more data or information are stored within. This is the main reason why I only store/share files with embedded links to my other cloud storage. This because even with just text, the user experience due to slowness is sometimes quite frustrating.

Vorteile

The thing I like most about notions is that in a few hours you can organize a lot of material and the other workers can access and understand all the information and the most important think is thatc olleagues can use it without prior knowledge in notion

Nachteile

The thing I like least about notions is that sometimes it is difficult to find the tool you need since there are many options, but I prefer that than not having options

Trello

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Notion

It has more functions and the information is organized more easily, being able to visualize all the topics that we need

Vorteile

My information is safe in Notion because it is both a public and private area. The versatility of Notion means it can be used on both desktop computers and mobile devices.

Nachteile

The one major drawback of using Notion is the learning curve. It's a little more sophisticated than Evernote, but not as much as other popular programs like Airtable or Obsidian.

Vorteile

What I like about the most is the flexibility it offers in terms of customization of the spaces/task management, document management, and everything in general. From the way people access the space, to how and who you where with different pages.

Nachteile

If you are not well organized and structured, the more you grow your space the more easier you can get lost. You need the right mindset to make sure your space follows logical sense so people can browse around without feeling overwhelmed

Vorteile

Very easy to use document storage and collaboration platform. Coordinate small to large size teams easily. AI features are slick and easy to support even with compliance requirements.

Nachteile

Data interopability and third-party integrations not as strong as some established players.

Vorteile

Your notes are instantly saved and you can access them from any devices.

Nachteile

I liked notion right away. I haven’t noticed anything I don’t like.

Evernote Teams

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Notion

The ability to use it on more than 2 devices

Vorteile

Notion keeps me on track. I generate a lot of content and documentation for my client projects and keeping up with the dozens of pieces that I need to produce and share each week would never succeed without Notion.

Nachteile

Two things: Notion is hard to get started with. I had to go back early on and redo many of my initial ideas of working with Notion. Templates are a good way to get started. Secondly, you must be connected to the internet for Notion to work. I travel a lot and work in places where internet availability is not always guaranteed.

Vorteile

1. Great flexibility - it allows you to custom your pages however you want, it's like all its competitors in one! Whether you need standard tables, text, mood board, project management tools, task lists, Notion has it all

2. Shortcuts and links for everything - once you become an advanced user, you'll finish your work faster you could ever imagine, as it has shortcuts for every action. You can also link pages, and pull out the data from one page to another, which is incredibly important when you're managing projects & people

3. Perfect for both personal and private use - I store my reading lists, to do's, home binder, and run my company in the same app

4. Large online community with lots of creative ideas on how to get the best out of this software.

Nachteile

I would like it to be encrypted, and by far this is the only disadvantage I've found.

Airtable

Warum Notion gewählt wurde

It didn't have all my company needs, I wanted a solution with more options in terms of visual presentation, linking data, type and number of uploads, etc.

Trello

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Notion

It's just slightly better than trello, but nowhere near to Notion.

Vorteile

I love how easy to use it is for content creators and readers alike. You can integrate all kinds of things: images, videos, html, databases, simple tables, etc. There are also lots of different types of heading (three sizes, with or without drop-down toggles to collapse them), which means the documents in our company wiki are very easy to navigate. I love using synced blocks when a rule or procedure is mentioned in more than one place—if you update one block, all of the others sync too so your documentation won't accidentally go out of date.

Nachteile

I had to try really hard to think of one, honestly! I guess I wish there was an easy-to-find user management page. The only way I know how to manage permissions is to use the small window that pops up when you click "Share" in the upper right hand corner of any Notion page. It takes fair amount of scrolling or a fair number of clicks to find someone on my 50+ person team and change or remove their permissions when I need to.

Confluence

Warum Notion gewählt wurde

My last company used Confluence instead of Notion. I like Notion better!

Zuvor genutzte Software

Confluence

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Notion

My COO chose it because it has a lot of traction with other teams we respect.

Vorteile

Notion quite frankly does it all - it is an area to organize and store information, it provides a platform to collaborate with cross-functional partners, task-management for projects, plan internal events, ETC!

Nachteile

At times, formatting text / pages can be difficult as a first time user, however once you get the hang of it its not too hard. I looked up a few youtube tutorial videos on how to format pages easier. Perhaps Notion could offer some instructional videos on formatting!

Vorteile

Notion is super easy to use, the interface is beautiful, and the possibilities are endless. I enjoy making templates that actually help me be more productive and get things done. There is also a native marketplace full of free and paid templates that I love getting inspiration from and experimenting with. Notion also has one of the most helpful and motivating communities where templates and productivity ideas are shared. I enjoy using this to organize my projects as a digital business.The pricing plans are reasonable, and they also offer credits when you complete certain tasks. It is best paired with Google Chrome Extensions. There are many extensions that make the Notion experience even better like customizing the theme colors, adding buttons, etc.

Nachteile

My nit-picky con isn't all that important when it comes to productivity, but visually notion lacks native advanced customization. The downside of using Chrome Extensions to customize the look and feel of my notion pages is that it doesn't apply across browsers and on the desktop and mobile app. There's too much space around the margins, which can be valuable real estate for the page content. I also wish the page properties didn't take up half the page with the right side of it empty. I also wish that text could be aligned right and centered.Another downside I have is having to use Notion in Google Chrome most of the time to take advantage of the style customization extensions.

Vorteile

Simple interface with database backend, makes it customisable to be used for any form of management.So useful to have web based interface and database table structure, with customisable frontend database display, with link to share, with templates to duplicate all in one.

Nachteile

Formatting text has limitation, cannot increase or decrease font sizes in the body.Also cannot customise the heading/subheading etc.
